R34 Gtr Mid Corner Weight Shift ?

[NISSAN GTR]

Gday ,

Heres a quick explanation of the problem !

R34 GTR non V spec 42,000kms , having issues with speeds above 80 kms around bends , as i turn into a large sweeping bend everything feels sweet and smooth , then about half way around the bend the car will swing in harder as if there was a massive full eski in the back that has slid across , cause me to over-correct my direction and hit the brakes , i almost lost control a few weekends ago through some bends .

This happens in both left and right turns ,Chassis is perfect , tyres are new , car has really genuine low kms which also makes me think its not rear end bushes .

Any help would be great , i know as per usual i owe everyone a BJ .

THANKS

Mark

could be worn bushes or possibly HICAS. even if the car only has 42,000kms (and in reality it could have 100,000ksm and have been well cared for) it's still going to be near 10 years old so many bushes will be due for replacement.

only real way to find this problem is get it up on a hoist and checked out. could also be broken swaybar link or disconected swaybar (same result).

Mine did a not dissimilar thing - easiest check is the rear sway bar bushes & more particularly the drop links. If there is slop in them chances are that is your problem.

My money is on the HICAS kicking in.

my bet is the ball joints on the rear hubs that the HICAS connects to. Or possibly wheel alignment, have you had it checked?

either way, take it to a suspension shop, it is almost certainly a bush or joint problem.
